I'm responsible for it, but I've always let people from various environments 
(BSD, ppc, etc) make their own changes - but it's been left to moulder for a 
while (what with me moving countries and all) - I'm preparing to do a cleanup 
for 4.0 

I was talking to Aaron at LCAA last month and he made a good suggestion that 
we move much of this (ie portable.cpp) into the HAL layer leaving the UI part 
where it is which makes a lot of sense - this is much harder than one might 
expect as there's a bunch of subtlety in the battery management, especially 
for APM where the kernel APIs are variable to say the least
